00:29:24cazalla:mike_c, actually a lot more is missing.. on bitcoin-otc i've received 19 ratings (WoT Browser shows 15) and sent 25 on bitcoin-otc (WoT Browser shows 16), these are old ones which i assume should've been included in the snapshot

00:29:54mircea_popescu:BingoBoingo jesus christ the deluge of verbiage from these people. that two line call-out in #bitcoin-dev has produced almost a million lines of derpage, on irc, on reddit, on personal blogs, everywhere.

00:30:09mircea_popescu:if this isn't disarray i have nfi what is. these people don't even have a forum, a venue where to discuss their shit.

00:30:47mircea_popescu:cazalla i missed ratings i made after gribble went down, on gribble's wot. like for instance the phantomcircuit one i discovered missing yest, was made in february.

00:31:49BingoBoingo:mircea_popescu: Seriously. One little threat they call crazy and all of a sudden it comes out no one but Hearn supports Gavincoin while The core devs seem to reveal in turn the never actually thought much on the future.

00:33:18mircea_popescu:cazalla it's the case for the -10 to rozal (id 37459 on gribble wot) for instance.

00:52:50asciilifeform:'Today Bitcoin Core is easily >100 times faster to synchronize and relay than when I first got involved on the same hardware, but these improvements have been swallowed by the growth.' << ahahahahaha the headers-first idiocy

00:59:28BingoBoingo:mircea_popescu: A-Rod still has that 10 year contract with the Yankees that says he gets bonuses for ever time he progresses along certain career milestones. He spent all last year suspended because "if you can you must" so now this year that he is breaking all of these milestones after spending last year's suspension by chillaxing at the beach the yankees don't want to pay him his contractual bonuses.

00:59:37ben_vulpes:is that some autonamespacified shitgnomery or something?

01:11:39felipelalli:I just knew that a Brazilian exchange was hacked last week but this information is not public yet. Anyone knows anything about it? (a friend told me but he has no much information also).

01:17:16danielpbarron:!up Guest53878 you've got to identify with nickserv within 30 seconds of logging in or he'll change your nick to Guest; you can set your irc client to do this automatically

01:30:11assbot:Logged on 08-05-2015 23:01:23; cazalla: mike_c, maybe you know or not but timestamp in WoT browser don't appear to update if you previously left that person a rating.. example, a rating i left a month ago is timestamped nov 2014

01:30:51danielpbarron:might be useful to know "first rated on" in addition to "last updated"

01:42:24danielpbarron:"This is frustrating; from a clean slate analysis of network health I think my conclusion would be to _decrease_ the limit below the current 300k/txn/day level." << I concur; 1MB is probably too large a block

02:52:13mircea_popescu:i never had anyone in hiding without at least a few rifles + sidearms, at least a coupla people along for the ride, etc. 40k is good for a quarter, and that if the guy's very sensible all around.

04:06:22asciilifeform:'This is actually true, I passed by some twerp here trying to give out flyers of some local thing identifying as a communist party and my principal impulse was to ask him how is he not ashamed of himself.' << i lost count of how many 'radical left party hq' doors i walked past in b-a

04:08:15asciilifeform:mircea_popescu: '...these people are already living a degree of magnitude above their means, hallucinating 100's of k's real estate values...' << why such certainty that it is hallucinated? is it possible that american escapees genuinely bid up the cost ?

06:09:52mircea_popescu:"The resilience of this world (as with our own) is that the truth cannot disable it. Even when TV tells you TV is bad for you, you?ll nod and say ?that?s so right? and queue up the next episode. This irony is not lost on the producers. ?15 Million Merits? is a show about a show about how destructive shows are. We recognize this as truth and congratulate ourselves for noticing. But just like the hapless redh

06:36:02gabriel_laddel:http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=08-05-2015#1125284 << I wish you luck, but ftw I'm not the sort of person to discuss this class of phenomenon. Even with all the disclaimers and knowing that Aaron isn't a fuckwit I still think of his post as "new age BS". I don't exercise, smoke, drink and eat whatever I want.

06:36:02assbot:Logged on 08-05-2015 16:55:03; pete_dushenski: i'm currently giving 'foundation training' a go. basically simplified yoga to specifically counter the effects of sitting at a computer all day (and all night).

13:06:41gabriel_laddel:;; rate funkenstein_ -1 author of a silly blogpost that reviews none of the assorted literature on the topic of choice, dances around the idea that perhaps experimental design is important and finally fails to conclude anything of significance.

13:06:43gribble:Error: For identification purposes, you must be authenticated to use the rating system.

16:49:22mircea_popescu:"well technically an ISP is a service provided to the internet, like a phone service provider is one that provides phone service. Not services 'on' the internet, but to/from it, just a someone with a phone number is not a 'phone service provider', he is just some dude with a phone. Internet service provider provides internet services, hosting service provides hosting services. They are different."

16:54:25mircea_popescu:danielpbarron sheeeit... that selection thing is the tits. how the hell does it work ?

17:44:45pete_dushenski:"News flash: Culture is not genetic!" << guess it depends on what's meant by "culture". if you mean whether you eat for chopsticks or your hands, then sure, but if you mean predispositions for music, languages, fine arts, etc, it's less clear.

19:31:43asciilifeform:'Which means that specific parts will have to be highlighted later on, to be re-digested like those kernels of corn that you sometimes have to pick out of the toilet and eat all over again' << win

19:49:05mircea_popescu:however... look at the count of DSA 1kb keys IN THE STRONG SET

19:49:15asciilifeform:funnily enough, i haven't seen a single ssh bruteforcebot on my regular boxes since moving ssh to nonstandard ports. did not expect this to have any effect, but it did. vanished. evidently the 'ancient art' of port scan has been forgotten? go figure.

20:02:00assbot:Logged on 08-04-2015 20:33:20; mircea_popescu: note that this is one of the majorest issues lurking in the "larger blocks"

20:02:25mircea_popescu:it was discussed on #bitcoin-assets long before the various bottom feeders posing as "technical" something or the other caught wind of it.

20:03:20mircea_popescu:and yo, various derps : next time you read something on the log, don't just run off and repackage it as your own thing, like some sort of idiot third worlder. link it to its source, that's how the giants were made upon whose shoulders your midget parents made you scum.

20:27:02ben_vulpes:<davout> [18:12] with every day that passes the "get actual computer, fuck with gentoo" item climbs higher and higher on my todo list << davout if you can figure out what an "actual computer" is, let me know

20:50:45pete_dushenski:also, it wasn't at all clear where googley eyes borrowed "More transactions means more memory for the UTXO database" from, but i agree, mircea_popescu, log quotes should be in there.

21:11:29pete_dushenski:"“Don’t vote! None have the right to legislate except Allah,” read one of dozens of bills splayed on car windshields outside the St. Saviour’s polling station in the east London constituency of Poplar and Limehouse. " << that's one angle from which to poke holes in popular democracy, i guess

21:12:37pete_dushenski:"any Muslim political candidate who sought to represent the issues most keenly felt by his fellow co-religionists – for example, solidarity with the Palestinian cause – risked being demonized and labelled an extremist."

21:13:17pete_dushenski:"Popular British-Bangladeshi politician Lutfur Rahman was kicked out of office after being found guilty of corruption and illegal practices. Mr. Rahman has publically denied the charges and his supporters have accused the ex-mayor’s critics of racism and Islamophobia." << those racialists !

21:45:16pete_dushenski:"President Obama (both a graduate from the Ivy League and Nobel prize winner) is neither smart, nor a noteworthy peace maker. But that doesn't matter. The left has won over the key voting boards to give him these now-plastic trophies which dupes enough Americans into voting him (and other talentless leftists) into office." << notbad.

21:47:03pete_dushenski:"Unfortunately, this facade is not going to last. And the reason is very simple. The internet.The internet is breaking the left's grip on the scams these awards have become. "

21:57:11mircea_popescu:"Obama is neither smart nor a noteworthy peace maker. But that doesn't matter. The left has won over the key voting boards to give him these now-plastic trophies." << that part is exact.

22:20:50decimation:turns out 2% growth is the 'new normal' and a good chunk of that is simply due to inviting the third world to move here and spend usd

22:21:43cazalla:decimation, i use to read his stuff but i think he has an over-inflated sense of his own intelligence (some IQ video of his rubbed me the wrong way.. coulda been this, coulda been that, coulda been a dr type shit)

22:27:53cazalla:fwiw, i think it's a combination of the two but then again, some kids will do well regardless of which family they find themselves born into so who knows, i'm trying the nurture thing with my son so we'll see

22:51:10decimation:even socialist professors admit that people generally 'have worse outcomes' in a situation where they are surrounded by other humans unlike themselves

22:51:19mircea_popescu:in short : the complexities involved in this matter are properly wovon

22:52:18mircea_popescu:heh, i have been surrounded by humans unlike myself my entire life.

22:52:34decimation:the best one can do is try to find 'natural experiments' like twins, but I'm sure with enough study of the details there one could find plenty of subtle 'unlikenesses' between supposedly identical twins

22:54:25mircea_popescu:for that matter - all brothers are mithocondrial twins.

23:40:21assbot:Logged on 12-08-2014 00:57:07; mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes nah, lots of history there. bitfinex was a coupla twerps that took the leaked bitcoinica codebase and started a new bitcoinica, back in 2012ish ? early 2013 ? (that code was in the wild because after the nth breach, amir taaki of bitcoin consultancy fame "open sourced" it by releasing it without rights)

23:40:46jordandotdev:yeah HQ is in HK, and they're domiciled in HK, Taiwan, and British Antilles?

23:41:01pete_dushenski:jordandotdev: so if they're 'distributed' why did you move to hk ? why not stay stateside (where i presume you're from ?)
